Description

The War of the Worlds (Paramount, R-1965). One Sheet (27" X
41").
This reissue poster for one of the most important science fiction
films of the 1950s is especially desirable among collectors as it
features the Martian war machines, unlike the original 1953 one
sheet. Much of the credit for the success of this adaptation by
George Pal of the H. G. Wells classic should go to art director
Albert Nozaki who provided concept drawings, key storyboards, and
perhaps the most important element, the design of the Martians and
their weapons. This science fiction collector's essential had
pinholes in the corners, tears on the right border, a small hole on
the left side, and one below the title, all addressed through
expert restoration to create a stunning display. Very Fine- on
Linen.
